Amazon Editorial Review -- Mike McGonigal
The Grammy-nominated, twenty-something, pop-classical phenomenon's fourth studio album is an expertly accomplished entry to the holiday marketplace.. Noel
tackles the familiar sounds of holiday music with a charmingly eclectic array of guest vocalists and a wide range of material. The songs range from the sacred
to the secular, while Groban -- bouyed in spots by none other than the London Symphony Orchestra -- soars in his duets with Brian McKnight, Faith Hill, and the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir. There's even a song with a gospel choir directed by Kirk Franklin. Produced yet again by crossover maestro David Foster, the
arrangements never overwhelm the songs. Groban's hard to categorize -- seeing how his range is somewhere in-between a high baritone and a low tenor -- but
he always finds and emphasizes the emotional core of these songs. And whether they have origins in pop or classical music seems not to matter. The addition of
messages from troops stationed in Iraq on top of, "I'll Be Home for Christmas:", is undeniably heart-wrenching, while the album's highlight
is it's most spare song "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", which finds Groban alone at his piano, sounding very much like some kind of angel.

i love it.
I listened to Christmas music WAY early this
year because I bought this CD, I LOVE it! I'm so glad he finally decided to make a Christmas album and in his album notes he mentions about how the fans
have been waiting! lol
